He was OK to start but has been downgraded to a ST player at most now. Just a weird season all around.

He got demoted to that cause traded for Phillips, signed BG and smith came back. I still think he’s a solid backup a when given snaps he was actually effective in a backup role

I find it very interesting that our last 3-4 OCs all have used the same passing tree concepts, or even more interesting the lack of certain schemes/route concepts.

I wonder why? Is it really an OC problem or something else 🤔

I don't know how Saquon's contract impacts the cap over the next few years, Howie royally effed up by giving a RB a huge contract extension after 1 season instead of keeping some important pieces on 1 or 2 year deals. Give me Saquon's original contract with Rodgers and Becton here through 2026.

Then you look at all the 1-year deals that just haven't panned out. Uche, Ojulari, Lamm, Granson, Dillon, Ogbo, Bryant. All of their contracts combined probably equal out to one of Rodgers or Becton.

Just one miss after another when you look back now.

Hindsight. He's in the record books now and a big reason of why we got to the playoffs and SB. People may say they knew the Oline was going to struggle but they really didn't

We were going into the season thinking the run game was going to be good to lean on still. It was always the passing game that was worrisome

Someone asked a while ago if Patrick Johnson’s elevations reset since they called him up, eventually signed him to the 53 but then put him back to the PS.

Eagles haven’t elevated him since going back to the PS. Maybe they felt they didn’t need him but you would think against Lions, Packers and Cowboys with Turpin he would be brought up for one of those to play ST’s.

I know, just looking at everything and how this season has shaped up.

I’m fine with Sirriani being a CEO coach. If you think they’ve won all these games all these years in spite of him then you are showing your NFL ignorance. Talented teams lose all the time and the run the eagles are on is special and no accident.

That said it’s time for him to take an even further step back from the offense.

on defense the biggest question mark is still 2nd corner. Frankly that unit i feel really good about going forward into future seasons if we can extend Phillips and Reed this offseason and get a 2nd corner opposite Q

Imo there’s so more question marks now with the offense going forward. Besides players, you got coaching issues on the offensive end. Plus Lane Johnson could retire. Dallas goedert might not be back next year. AJ Brown might not be back next year. Who knows if Cam Jurgens returns back to what he was before the back surgery. Barkley is getting closer to 30 and off a season where it wasn’t his best along with OL. A lot of potential holes and that doesn’t go into the coaching on that side.

Should be some sort of drinking game with our offense.

Can Jihaad Campbell play safety? I kid.

And lost to 2 not so good teams in Giants & Cowboys in the worst fashion I can think of. Rams have stepped it up while we are going the other way. Feels like fool's gold right now. Will see. There's very little margin for error this year. As opposed to past years. Still a good team, but the red flags are all there.

Also, Lions, Packers, Chiefs, Vikings, Buccaneers are all teams with warts and worse than anticipated. Needed miracle FG block to beat Rams. So it's still good, but I'm not overly impressed as it turns out.

Before we got the miracle block to beat the Rams, they gave up a huge lead. They didn’t just roll over and allow us to come back.. They are not unbeatable. I feel very confident come playoff time they’d fold like a cheap lawn chair, mcvay coaches scared. I would happily take that matchup.

Our offense was pretty terrible throwing the ball last year as well. We will be okay. Would really like the OC to be demoted but we will be fine

I think we could be ok. Or not. Not meaning to be Captain Obvious but I don’t think our failure is written in stone like so many here. Odds were always against things going as well as the went last year.

Nope dejean didnt PI

I typically won’t argue calls, it doesn’t do any good to. He definitely was beat and started grabbing and he also grabbed a hold of the shoulder pad of the front side shoulder, in addition I don’t believe he ever got his head turned towards the ball either but I could be wrong about that. It was PI both ways, more egregious on Lamb but definitely PI on Cooper as well.

Switch the jerseys and you would want the call for Smith or Brown and there is nothing wrong with that.

Dickerson, impressively, made his already dumb qoute worse somehow with his clarification

We did it!!!! Progress

I was literally about to post that this still sounds like they were badly outcoached

LA is steamrolling teams right now. Alot can change. I base alot of things on how our defense looks. Need a strong rebound performance Friday and see if we can survive that secondary.

Typical player speak. They said this with Chip too. I’ve watched football long enough to know a poorly coached team when I see it. And all the signs, football. And vibes all reek of it.

I have to agree on offense.

What i still don't get is Howie and Siri didn't learn anything from the Brian Johnson experience. I think winning the SB muddled with thier heads. Its annoying as F.
